Using one or more actual engineering-related cases as well as some workable ethical theories, argue whether
or not the SECEPP is a coherent and comprehensive code of conduct for the computing/IT profession. In
the support for your argument, describe some virtues of the ethical codes of conduct adopted by professional
societies such as the ACM and IEEE-CS, and list some shortcomings of these professional codes as well. In
your final analysis, discuss whether the advantages of having a code outweigh the prospects of not having
one.
